What is the meaning of caricature?

The Meridian-Webster Dictionary defines "caricature as exaggeration by means of often ludicrous distortion of parts or characteristics" We strive to draw slightly distorted but pleasing - appreciated caricatures of everyone we draw.

How long does a caricature take?

The artists in our collective each average 15 years experience in event caricature drawing. We draw 10 to 12 people per hour live - black and white, head and shoulders. This means it takes us between 4 and 5 minutes per person to draw a caricature.

What is a digital caricature?

We have been drawing digital caricatures for the past 20 years. Digital caricatures are hand drawn caricatures, similar to traditional paper based caricatures. Digital caricatures are drawn on a laptop or tablet with the drawings being displayed on monitor or projected for all the guests to see the caricatures take shape.

Digital caricatures are a versatile and can be used as custom framed art, t-shirts, coffee cups, social media avatars and marketing.
